Have you ever heard of “ The Turtle theory”?

[WillGrant974]

Turtles don't rush.
Turtles don't panic.
Turtles don't care who's ahead of them.
They just keep swimming-one stroke at a time.
Through chaos, through calm.
And somehow, they always make it to shore.
Because speed means nothing when your journey is built on patience.

You don't need to sprint.
You just need to stay in motion.
Slow progress is still progress.
And peace will always outlast pressure.

I learned through a Jewish website that they did a study of female students when they were visually objectified and when they were not visually objectified, and their intellectual or academic skills declined by 40% when they were visually objectified by others.

I find that in my previous high school, the girls blessed with amazing genes but were yet obsessed with their sexual attractiveness, and seductive qualities, tended to underperform academically, even if they had good social and romantic opportunities in their lives.

I also find as an adult, that people who self-objectify and based their confidence and self esteem on their appearance, tend to under-from socially,. emotionally, or pragmatically.

I am not referring to those who exercise and diet since that tends to increase your intelligence and not decrease it.

But females who base their confidence on the shade of lipstick they wear or the length of their dress skirts, do not operate at their maximum intellectual capacity in life because they are too distracted to think in an intelligent way.

But turtles get eaten by sharks quite a lot. Sometimes it's best to get your arse in gear, or just panic.

I prefer the post turtle turtle theory.
You find a turtle on a fence post
He's up high but can't function
He's got no idea what to do
It's clear he didn't get their by himself
You wonder what idiot put him there.

This covers 99%of politicians and managers.

On Mar.27,1997, Blackhawks troublemaker Claude "Pepe Le Pew" Lemieux turtled like a freakin' coward rather than fight Red Wing Darren McCarty when McCarty sought revenge on Lemieux for his earlier cheap shot on McCarty's teammate Kris Draper which damaged Draper's face. D-Mac, as McCarty is known, became and remains a Red Wings fan favourite for thrashing the wussy Le Pew.

Turtles CAN'T rush.
Turtles do panic... and can't run so they pull into their shell. But we can't be turtles... We are people we need to get to jobs on time and get home to families to be with them , not slow like a turtle... tell your boss about job deadline "slow progress is progress"... and start searching for a new job!

I love the metaphor! 🐢 The Turtle Theory is a beautiful reminder of the importance of patience and persistence. Like turtles, we can maintain a steady pace, focusing on progress rather than speed. It's about moving forward despite life's chaos and remembering that slow and steady progress can lead to lasting success. This approach can be incredibly calming and inspiring, encouraging us to enjoy the journey at our own pace. 🌊

That is what is known as “infinite regress.”

Google it if you haven't heard of this philosophical expression.

Not before this post and it would make a great wall plak as it is a very inspiring saying.

Some turtles even secretly train to be ninjas and fight for the world’s just causes! 🥷

Never heard of it, but I like the idea.
